I have been running an activity of authoring a "UX White Paper" that aims to explain the core concepts of UX. It is based on UX Concept Analyses collected from 27 UX professionals, including some well-known researchers (Cockton, Hassenzahl, Höök, Mahlke, McClelland, Tractinsky). The White Paper will be finalized in a Dagstuhl seminar on September 13-15, 2010.

The first draft of the White Paper was sent to the seminar participants for commenting. I share this version also here, but please do not distribute it further (it's a draft).

This is a rough grouping of the articles considered relevant from my pint of view for the UX framework and UX related issues in general. In the near future I will also post dimensions for measuring user experience extracted from the available literature in this thread. Please feel free to add articles to this list.
